Our Fundamentals of Financial Accounting Tutorial is designed to familiarize students with the building blocks of financial accounting; including the basic construction of financial statements, reporting and analyzing cash flows, and analyzing and interpreting financial statements. As financial accounting is intensively cumulative, it is critical that students develop a solid understanding of the fundamentals before moving on to more difficult concepts including analysis, interpretation, and decision making.

Market/Audience

The Fundamentals of Financial Accounting Tutorial is intended for use in programs that either require or would like to offer a pre-term tutorial that levels the playing field for students with no prior knowledge of financial accounting. Initially developed as a pre-term tutorial for first year MBA students, this product can be used as a warm-up for any introductory level financial accounting course. It is designed as an asynchronous, self-paced experience for students that have not previously completed a financial accounting course or for students that have taken a course but need a refresher in the fundamentals of financial accounting.

Common Access Code Issues

Please ensure that your code is being entered correctly. A common issue is the confusion of certain characters. We tend to see capital "I's" as in Iowa confused with lowercase "l's" like leopard and/or the number "1".

Our access codes do not contain lowercase "l's" (leopard) or the number "1"; in these cases, please use a capital "I" (Iowa).

Another reason may be that you have a used textbook and the code is no longer valid. You can purchase course only access on myBusinessCourse.

If none of these examples represent you, please submit a ticket with a picture of your access code and we will further investigate the matter.

Common Payment Issues

The most common problem we see pertains to the following message: Street Address does not match (N). Postal Code does not match (N).

This indicates that information on file with an issuing credit card company does not match what is entered. We typically see this occur with individuals who have moved recently or individuals using a school address instead of a home address.

Our advice is to contact your financial institution and verify the correct billing information. You may want to ask about any failed transactions and inquire as to the status of those funds.
